This is a slanted serif with a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show a gentle, consistent contrast with rounded joins and softly bracketed serifs, producing a smooth, flowing rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are broad and dignified, while lowercase forms are compact and slightly organic, with varied stroke endings that keep the texture lively. The numerals follow the same humanist logic, with curving terminals and an overall even color on the page despite the italic movement.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or narrative tone. It can also work for refined branding, cultural institutions, and printed pieces like programs or invitations where a classic, humanist serif impression is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and cultured without feeling austere. Its italic cadence and softened serifs add warmth and a subtle sense of motion, suggesting tradition, elegance, and editorial credibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, calligraphy-informed skeleton—aiming for comfortable readability while adding a graceful, expressive slant for editorial and literary typography.
In running text the letterforms create a coherent, slightly lively texture rather than a rigid, mechanical one. The italic slant is assertive but controlled, and the serifs stay understated, helping the face remain readable while still feeling expressive.
